“I know it’s not technically a news story, but it’s something I feel deserves attention. Linux is lacking a Shockwave player, which severely restricts access to some websites. This petition is asking Macromedia to provide one, or a method of making one, for the Linux platform. Please sign, as there is a real need for action here.”
Macromedia has yet to produce a Shockwave player for Linux, they already have a Flash player for Linux, this petition is meant to try to convince Macromedia to create, or provide information to the Linux community so it can make, a Shockwave player for Linux.
